Short form for Java if statement
Use the ternary operator:
name = ((city.getName() == null) ? "N/A" : city.getName());
I think you have the conditions backwards - if it's null, you want the value to be "N/A".
What if city is null? Your code *hits the bed in that case. I'd add another check:
name = ((city == null) || (city.getName() == null) ? "N/A" : city.getName());
To avoid calling .getName()
twice I would use
name = city.getName();if (name == null) name = "N/A";
The way to do it is with ternary operator:
name = city.getName() == null ? city.getName() : "N/A"
However, I believe you have a typo in your code above, and you mean to say:
if (city.getName() != null) ...
